Chapter 31 – Part 1

Brielle was at the age of insisting that he would marry his mother. Knowing that, Kentrail quietly laughed at the little boy's words and soothed his nephew.

"The nanny is going out today, so that's why you're doing this? She's just going out for a while. She'll be back soon."

He hurriedly shook his head. Moments later, he poured out a few drops of thick tears as if it was something that was very sad.

"Marie went on a blind date."

"...What?"

Kentrail's expression, who had been smiling so far, swiftly changed. At first, he wondered if he heard it wrong.

'Doesn't it sound too ridiculous to say a blind date...?'

But when he pondered about it more, somehow, her expression seemed excited when she came to ask his permission to go out. He dismissed it as that was how she was always like. Knowing fully he didn't deserve to feel this way, though for some reason, a feeling of betrayal flooded in.

"Butler!"

"Yes, Master."

"Come and call Ellie."

At the words of the Count, the butler went to the room in search of Ellie. The master's face has hardened, and it seemed to be because of something the butler had been thinking about recently.

'Does the Master really like the nanny?'

He recalled that the nanny's status was a fallen noble. However, he was against the thought as he shouldn't be thinking that way. He just wanted the Master to get through the situation. But now, the urgent situation was to catch the nanny who went on a blind date.

The butler called Ellie, but as he thought, it was only the child's illusion, so there was no specific information to indicate that it was a blind date.

Kentrail, unaware of this, paced around the room inferring the location. Of course, there wasn't a place that came to mind as he had never done anything like that himself.

In his heated mind, he wanted to release the knights right away, but not only should he not mobilize them for this kind of reason, he couldn't just leave the county empty right now.

"Sigh..."

At the sound of his sigh, Ellie, sitting on the front sofa, picked up the cookie the butler brought her.

'If my feelings are correct...'

Her eyes twinkled at that moment.

Marie, unaware of the commotion at the County, decided to part ways with Erin after having dinner.

Today, all of Brielle's classes were canceled and the maid decided to take care of other matters, so she had some time to spare.

Coincidentally, Erin and her had met Eujes by chance at the restaurant. He was sitting at the table alone, perhaps without a party.

"Teacher!"

"Oh, nanny."

Eujes finally met her, whom he hadn't met in a while even after he went to find Brielle. His face was covered with joy.

"Do you know each other?" Erin asked, pointing to Eujes, who called Marie the nanny. She noticed a subtle difference in temperature between Marie and his reaction, as she peered at him unsurprisingly.
